1You want to be the change

The world is changing. By studying business and economics you can influence change for the better. You will gain the knowledge, experience and skills to become a leader, whether as a professional in your field, heading up an organisation, developing public policy, as an entrepreneur in a start-up or undertaking scholarly research. Our alumni are making waves in the world’s leading companies, NGO’s, government agencies and universities.

2 You want to be connected

Building a network you can rely on takes more than hard work. The ANU College of Business and Economics attracts exceptional and energetic people from Australia, the Asia-Pacific region and the world. You will meet people to share your university experience with, both academically and socially. Friends from university become future colleagues, advisers and, often, friends for life.

3 Your experience matters

Where you’re going is as important as where you’ve been. Most of our students live on campus, at least for the first year, and this makes for a vibrant campus atmosphere. You will have access not only to College facilities, including our student hub, technology lounge and café, but also the resources of our beautiful campus. The College offers opportunities for internships and study overseas, and is located in the heart of one of the world’s most beautiful and liveable capital cities.

4 You will be a leader of tomorrow

Your reputation precedes you. Working with our high-calibre academic staff, you will explore intricate ideas, gain skills to critically analyse and solve complex problems, and discover innovative leadership styles and new models of management. In the classroom you will collaborate with your classmates to build the leadership of tomorrow.

I chose to study at the ANU because I believe it

is the best university in Australia, especially in my fields of business and economics.

The location, in Canberra, is perfect for study. And the high quality of research, along with the number of academic staff relative to students really sets ANU apart from other institutions.

The Australian National University is located on 145 hectares of beautifully maintained parklands in the heart of Australia’s capital city, Canberra.

Canberra is the world’s best city to live in, according to the OECD, and is ranked among the top 20 student cities in the world (QS Best Student Cities 2015).

As the nation’s capital, Canberra is home to 12 national institutions including Australian Parliament House, the National Museum of Australia and the National Gallery of Australia.

The city is vibrant and cosmopolitan; it offers an exceptional lifestyle for students, with reliable public transport, great restaurants and cafes, and an abundance of free community events including the National Multicultural Festival, Skyfire, Enlighten and Floriade.

With its long, sunny days and four distinct seasons, Canberra has a lot to offer.

Outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy walking in our beautiful parks and reserves, exploring the region by mountain bike, or sailing or rowing on Lake Burley Griffin. For a bird’s eye view of the city, check out the stunning views from the National Arboretum and Mount Ainslie, or take a ride in a hot air balloon!

It’s located just three hours’ drive from Sydney, two hours from the snow and two hours to the beautiful beaches of the South Coast. Canberra Airport offers flights to Australia’s major cities and regional centres, as well as international direct flights to Singapore and Wellington, New Zealand.

Coming from a small country town, I love

the friendliness of Canberra. Almost every time I go shopping I run into people I know! At the same time Canberra has many of the services and facilities of a larger city like Melbourne or Sydney. I’ve found Canberra a really safe and supportive place to live away from home for the first time.

Canberra is a great place to live and study. We’re

surrounded by bush and open space, making it a great place for people who love the outdoors. There’s something for everyone here, from sporting grounds to museums and art galleries.

One of the big benefits of the ANU is that it’s situated right next to the CBD and some of the country’s most important institutions. This gives students access to a wide range of professional and social opportunities.

ANU has pioneered the Flexible Double Degree so you can study two areas of interest at the same time.

Through our Flexible Double Degrees, you’ll expand your skills, improve your employability and graduate with two qualifications.

You will have the same full-time workload as a student studying a single undergraduate degree, and by undertaking a Flexible Double Degree, you earn two qualifications in much less time than if you were to undertake the two degrees separately.

With over 750 possible degree combinations, there’s a Flexible Double Degree to suit you.

When applying for a Flexible Double Degree, select the Group that includes the degrees in which you are interested.

If your application is successful, you will then be able to choose your degree combination when you accept your offer to study at ANU. The entry requirement for your double degree will be the same as the higher of the two individual degrees.

See page 40 for all possible degree combinations.

The Flexible Double Degree program gives

students the opportunity to combine their undergraduate program with other disciplines from any college at ANU.

This is great for students like me who aren’t sure which degree they want to pursue. If students decide later that they don’t like one of the degrees that they’re doing, they can always switch to a single degree and the previous course credits will still be counted.

I went to South Korea for 10 months and

attended Yonsei University, which was in a great student neighbourhood with lots of nightlife. South Korea’s a good base for travel, I did lots of travel in my time off. And I made really good friendships during my time there.

I found that my language improved ten-fold, because while you’re there studying at university you’re also applying it to everyday situations.

I loved my exchange experience in Korea - it was one of the highlights of my time at ANU.

Career optionsAccountants are an important part of business life and are constantly in demand. With continuing high global demand for qualified accountants, graduates of the Bachelor of Accounting have a wide range of employment opportunities working in the public and private sectors.

Some of the roles available to a qualified accountant are: business risk analyst, financial officer, auditor, tax accountant, budget or management accountant, consultant and systems accountant. Accounting graduates from ANU have secured roles in large accounting firms, government departments, banking and finance organisations, and large corporations.

I was drawn to accounting by its

dynamic nature, countless career opportunities and increasing relevance to every business decision.

Accounting is so much more than just ‘number-crunching’. It’s about thinking strategically, understanding business psychology and analysing the effects that current social and political factors have on shaping the unique challenges each business faces.

(Honours study is recommended for Part II accreditation)

The ANU Bachelor of Actuarial Studies (Honours) is fully accredited by the Actuaries Institute to provide students with exemptions, subject to obtaining sufficiently high grades in designated courses.

Career optionsThere are many attractive career opportunities for fully qualified actuaries in Australia. Actuaries may apply their skills in insurance, superannuation, investment banking and finance, and in government.

Typical roles that utilise actuarial skills are: investment analyst, fund administrator or investment manager; liability manager; and actuarial insurance broker. Actuaries also work as consultants, providing advice on financial decisions to both private and commercial clients.

Many actuaries move into high-level administrative and senior managerial positions, reflecting the strong interdisciplinary nature of the profession which mixes theoretical skills with sound practical knowledge.

Actuarial Studies and Finance are two very

compatible degrees in progressive industries.

Your degree will teach you how to think analytically, how to process information, how to model data and how to draw significant conclusions - valuable skills that are sought after in an array of fields and can take you wherever you want to go.

And at ANU, you will meet like-minded people who you’ll form friendships with, who will motivate you and who could potentially become precious contacts in the future.

Career optionsThe Bachelor of Business Administration provides a comprehensive grounding in the key business skills that are essential in any workplace.

With its focus on developing leadership and management skills, graduates of the program will be well-equipped to take up management and senior administrative positions in both public and private sectors.

Additionally, with its broad coverage of the different components of business and management, the Bachelor of Business Administration provides an ideal foundation for careers in human resources, communications, marketing and business strategy.

Graduates gain a good understanding of the innovation and entrepreneurship essential to creating new commercial ventures and developing existing businesses.

Business Administration attracted me as it covers a

broad range of topics, ranging from economics to marketing to international business. I was still unsure as to what I wanted to do as a career after leaving university, so business administration seemed the perfect choice for me – it is versatile and covers a range of topics which are very interesting and useful.

The social aspect of university provides a perfect balance with study, whether it be meeting friends at one of the campus’ cafes between classes, activities run by societies such as AFEC, the annual society balls, or orientation week.

exceptional reputation, modern facilities, well-qualified teachers as well as the international outlook and career prospects that it provides.

The environment at the ANU is one that stimulates intellectual curiosity and inspires both students and staff to aim for excellence.

I have been studying a Bachelor of Commerce due to my great interest in finance and accounting. The program, so far, has made me realise that students studying here are very well prepared for the workforce and have a real competitive advantage. I am excited to see where the degree will take me.

Career optionsThe Bachelor of Economics provides a platform for a wide variety of careers across the public and private sectors.

Economists play a crucial role in public policy, and are much in demand in many government departments and corporate organisations. There are also many opportunities for economists in international agencies, in areas such as global economic analysis, development, resource management and the environment.

Many firms employ economists to help understand the wider business environment and guide their business development strategies. Consultancy and accounting firms also employ economists to help guide their clients.

Financial institutions including banks, and in particular the Reserve Bank of Australia, actively recruit economists to advise them on the state of the economy and on risks from factors such as interest rate changes and exchange rate movements.

There is also a thriving national and international market for academic economists in high schools, colleges and universities.

I first studied Economics at school

and fell in love with it, because it offers a great mix of reasoning, analytical and mathematical skills. I also believe it can be applied in almost any field. As a single degree I’m able to take more electives, complementing my economics with study of other disciplines.

Educational Access SchemeThe Educational Access Scheme is part of the University’s commitment to equality of access to tertiary education for all Australians. This scheme is available to applicants with strong academic potential who have been disadvantaged during high school. Conditions such as geographical isolation, lack of school facilities, illness, low family income or emotional trauma can mean that you may fall below the required Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) for your chosen program. Successful applicants can receive up to five bonus points for equity reasons. Details of the Educational Access Scheme can be found at:

students.anu.edu.au/applications/pathways.php

Special considerationHas your academic performance been adversely affected by unusual circumstances and you are not eligible to apply through the above Educational Access Scheme?

If this is the case, you can complete a special consideration form to assist with the assessment of your application. This application will be considered in conjunction with all other available information and will not necessarily result in a variation in the assessment. More information about special consideration can be found at:
